Nice half, love the ring ,too. What kind of MD do you use?

 

[stoney56]

Sure is a beauty. I think the Walker is the prettiest design of all the 1/2's. WTG. Also see that you found a silver ring-batting 1000. Great finds!

Great finds! Beautiful silver!

 

[Leon]

Them are some Great finds!
Is it a half, or a quarter?...
I know a few others have said it's a half, can you tell by looking at the pic?
Am I missing something, or are they just comparing it to the size to the ring?

 

[Jim Cal]

Wow...nice half, nice ring, nice job. Keep on finding the good stuff. Jim Cal

 

[stoney56]

Leon, that may not be a ring. From the size it may be a silver napkin holder 8)

 

[Ron (CA)]

Leon,

I think you may be confusing the Walking Liberty Half with the Standing Liberty Qtr.? Here is a pic of the Standing Liberty Qtr.

Yeah you can tell by the pic once you see both.

Ron does that say 1990 or am I misreading it. Nice luster in any case? ?

Walking Halfs were Minted from 1916-1947. They have .36169 of an ounce of pure silver x $7.30 (todays price)=$2.64. Mint =Philly (31,502,000) Denver (9,966,500) San Fran (10,0156,000) The mint mark would be left of the H on the reverse.

Many coin enthusiasts regard the walking liberty as the most beautiful US coin ever minted.

I prefer the Peace Dollar.
